School may be out for summer, but that’s no excuse to let the learning stop. Along with his summer reading assignments, our son is also learning more about the world around him by watching some really cool shows on Netflix. So far, his favorite has been When We Left Earth, which explores the various NASA missions over the years. He loves anything with space travel, so this particular show was a perfect choice.
Check out these great titles for your bigger kids to watch:
1. Lewis & Clark: The Journey Out West
2. Walking with Dinosaurs
3. Secret Yellowstone
4. The Blue Planet
5. When We Left Earth: The NASA Missions
Got younger kids? These titles will surely get them learning and having fun at the same time:
1. The Great Mouse Detective
2. Busytown Mysteries
3. LeapFrog: Math Adventures to the Moon
4. Turtle: The Incredible Journey
5. The Magic School Bus
When they’ve had enough screen time, check out these Story Starter Cubes you can make yourself. I plan on making these for centers in my library this year. What a fun way to get a child’s imagination going!
Don’t let your child fall victim to the “summer brain drain”. Check out these great titles on Netflix and give the Story Starter Cubes a try to throw in some extra fun with their learning. Happy Summer!
